The Fiji Red Cross has launched a National Appeal for funds to run its ongoing response to the devastation caused by Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston and the Peoples Republic of China is the first to contribute to it.

Addressing the media, FRCS National President, Cathy Wong said the organisation would prioritise the most in need.

Our first priority are the most vulnerable areas, the informal settlements, and I am very happy to say that our assessment teams went there yesterday to asses.
We are asking you to donate money to assist with the distribution of emergency relief items, such as shelter kits, non-food items such as clothes, blankets, cooking sets and hygiene kits

The FRCS will meet the immediate needs of the communities they visit while at the same time conduct assessments to get a better indication of what the needs are on the ground.

I am appealing to everyone out there, to stand with Fiji Red Cross with your generous cash donation. Together we can and we will deliver our humanitarian service to the most vulnerable
